From a stack

I love how a stack of this…

can be transformed into this:

It’s amazing how much I like cutting up fabric and sewing it back together again. This one was inspired by a photo of tile in Sevilla, Spain….where I met my husband. :) The fabric stack above is from my fat quarter bundle at the Fat Quarter Shop.

I know, I'm always amazed that we take these big pieces of fabric and chop them up into smaller pieces and then sew them all back together into one big piece. I love it! Gorgeous quilt, you dream up such great patterns!

Beautiful! Honestly, I think this my be my favorite of yours so far. Love the colors, love the design. I can tell it was truly inspired. Please post a photo after it been quilted -- I'd love to see it finished!

That is SO pretty. When people ask me about my quilting I tell them I cut big pieces of fabric into smaller pieces of fabric and then I sew it all all back together to make another big piece of fabric.

I loved the before and swooned at the after. I see nothing wrong with taking a perfectly good piece of fabric and cutting it up into little pieces and sewing it back together again....the best kind of therapy.

Yes, it's amazing how a stack of stuff can turn into something so pretty and useful. I hope you make a pattern for this, I would love to make a version of my own. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents.

I just have to tell you how much I love your site. You inspired me to make my first quilt! I bought your zigzag baby quilt pattern, and I LOVE it! Love this pattern, I actually lived in Spain for a while, the tiles there are so inspiring!
